You mean that you have FindSubversion.cmake as part of your CMake
installation? Or something else?

I don't see any variables defined with those names in the module you
linked above. What is the question here?

I have also got some problems to get the commands "FIND_PACKAGE(APR REQUIRED)" and "FIND_PACKAGE(APRUtil 1.3 REQUIRED)" to work so that the Apache Portable Runtime library can be used as expected.

Now I'm really confused. Are you trying to use CMake to build a
Subversion addon of some sort?

If so, I don't think that's what FindSubversion is for. It looks like
FindSubversion is for running the svn executable during builds in a
CMake-friendly way.
